Absolutely! Parents' and Family Weekend is for the whole family.
Grandparents, brothers, sisters, relatives, are all welcome!
What's the weather going to be like?
November in Santa Barbara is usually in the high-60s to low-70s.
The campus is right on the coast and usually has a heavy fog
in the mornings and late evenings.
What is the dress?
Casual. Comfortable walking shoes are suggested, as well as
dressing in layers—because the campus is situated on the
coast, the weather is often unpredictable.
Can you help us find a hotel?
The best way to find a hotel room is to check the Web site
www.santabarbaraca.com
for a list of local hotels and motels in the Santa
Barbara/Goleta area.
What time does the first event start?
Our first scheduled event - Campus Tours - begins
on Friday, November 6th at 9:30AM. We also encourage parents
and families to attend classes with their students, or classes
you might have a specific interest in. There will be a full
listing of all classes at Friday's Check-In (9:00AM - 4:00PM). Check
with your student regarding instructor's approval for
classroom visits.
What time do the weekend events conclude?
The scheduled events for Parents' and Family Weekend
will end at approximately 3:00PM on Sunday, November 8th.
